That was me 3 weeks ago- happily cruising along with my trusty 18490's and my P2... pop that 26ga on and you'll be up to 15W wishing you could find a 3000mAh IMR 18490 ... and there's just no going back!

I agree on the polished- I have a P1 in chrome and .. well.. it's been upgraded to the 2.5 board but hasn't seen much use....what was I thinking?

Exactly! That is what I am expecting. Just kind of sad thinking about the fate of my V2. She's been by my side for the better part of two years now. Nothing has been more faithful to me. I gave her a name and everything (Ida). :(

As for the polished....y'all can have that one. Looks too much like a $39.95 Chinese mod to me. Enjoy the fingerprints. :)

I will have to get me a shiny P3! My hubby wouldn't let me polish my P3B. They said I should leave it the way it was made.

I never notice finger prints on my Dragon or my Polished Stainless 2.5. I think the polished Provaris have a better grip than the matte finish ones. That is just my opinion.

Enjoy your P3

vape Happy vape on!

My 2.5 hasn't had her button pushed in the 2 weeks I've had my P3. She's a great girl. Very trustworthy and she brought me many hours of pleasure, but her sister, the P3 is just better at what she does. Poor 2.5. I almost feel guilty cheating on her. Almost..........

I get the same feeling looking at my mini every morning- it just sits there ....topless...

I have another tank (full size Nautilus with BVC), but I'm not sure why I'd need to do that. I find the P3 demonstrably better. So, my 2.5 is truly a backup in case I do something unthinkable to my new girl friend.

There has to be some kind of respectful way to retire the V2.5's and lower. I can't come to grips with just tossing it in my bone box with the rest of the retired crap I have. My Provari deserves more than to sit on the bottom of a box laying next to a Vivi Nova and a Lavatube. If I'm ProVape, I offer some Provari caskets on the website. Make them of the same finishes with a matching tombstone. Offer us a Provari box filled with Provari dirt so we can give her a proper burial. Have a section on the website for obituaries. It's only proper.

My very first Provari was Polished. I kept for all of 20 minutes. I bought it, walked out of the store, drove away, looked at it and saw all these finger prints. I turned around, drove back to the store, and traded it for Satin Silver. For me, SS is likely the only finish any Provari of mine will have.

You may really like the Stealth...
I've heard whispers of a Sealth P3...if it happens, I am definitely buying one. No questions asked...
But, being that a Stealth Mini 2.5 is retailing at the same price the P3 Silver is starting at, I don't know how much of a mark-up the Stealth P3 will have...hopefully not much...

Mine has become my stay at work mod. That way if something happens at work too damage my mod, it's not my P3. [emoji6]

I just get this feeling I will like the boost feature to the point where everything else is inferior and unsatisfying. Even my P2. :(

Quite honestly, I shut my boost off, in favor of longer battery life...
I really feel like the non-boost hit of a P3 is stronger than a 2.5...and my flavor/vapor production seems to agree.

I struggle with that... took it down to 2.... seems to be a good compromise...
have some fun & go with bigger wire in your next build .... - you're starting to get why anyone would consider not using AWs... the down side of boost is it hits the battery hard.

I just ordered a few NCR18650PFs (flat tops - from Orbtronic) should have them before the weekend- will let you know how they work out.
